Hunt Jackson Helen (w3142)

  • Description: Helen Hunt Jackson was an American writer and activist committed to defending Native American rights. After an early career as a poet and short story writer, she traveled extensively across the United States—especially in the Southwest—to document injustices against Indigenous peoples. Her findings were published in A Century of Dishonor (1881), a searing indictment of the U.S. government. She also used fiction to advocate her cause, most notably through the novel Ramona (1884), set in California, which had a significant impact on public awareness. Her travels were not exotic adventures, but rather instruments of social critique

Could we have trout? No. Chicken? No. Beefsteak ? No. What could we have ? Veal and eggs. The strangers from Gastein had eaten up everything else which the Bockstein inn possessed. Veal and eggs are the two staple delights of the German stomach; the veal steaming with fat and mustard, and the eggs horrible with butter and garlic. Ugh 1 All my life I shall remember the egg-salad which dear Marie added to our dinner yesterday, and of which I tasted, to appear civil, but was positively obliged to swallow hastily, like calomel, by help of great mouthfuls of beer. I thought I had tasted of bad things in Italy, but I give Germany the unquestioned palm.
